But Ben is a good choice.

Johnny? What's wrong with you?! Maybe alternate Pirate Johnny...

Dude, Reed can be whatever shape he wants to be, he doesn't have to do steroids, he just has to want to look buff.

Also Johnny.

Johnny would be buff, he is a vain mofo...

I don't spend that much time analyzing the artistic choices of how fucking Reed Richards is drawn... I also stopped caring about DR FF at issue 3, so I had no problems with this book. However it will probably get a 6 or a 7 from me, which is real low for Hickman...

Well, it's hard not to when there are nearly 30 of him in this issue. You know I'm just kidding, but the only real issue I have with it is he simply doesn't look as pliable as drawn by Eaglesham here. I just don't get elastic from Reed's panels in this issue, and it's only in part because he's so thick.

The person most-underused in DR:FF and this issue is Sue--who is relegated to "doing everything [she] can to hold things together" on page 5 by putting a bubble around herself. Not very imaginative.

Yeah, I am somewhat intrigued to see where this is going, but have yet to be impressed by Hickman's superhero work--not that I didn't enjoy this book. But it has some flaws and weak plot points, like the Wizard's logical error.

A lot of people are harping on Eaglesham about Reed and Johnny's bulkiness but that doesn't really bother me. I've read enough superhero comics to know artists exaggerate sometimes. I was a little thrown by Ben's speech pattern. I think Hickman needs to work on that to make Ben sound a little more normal and a little less Jimmy Durante(which granted his speech pattern is based on but he's progressed since the 60's).

Yeah, I really liked this issue. I really like the art, I like a buff Reed. He seems more superheroish that way. I loved the whole 101 thing and really look forward to where the end of the issue is going to take us. However, this felt lite for a Hickman book, even a Marvel Hickman book...
The flashback sequence by Eaglesham was the bees knees...

Overall 6.5
